Reply With QuoteWhy would you need so many equipment just to add co2 into the water column? An external reactor would do the job nicely. You would only have to have a rainbar fixed vertically in the tank as the outlet. Hope this helps!
Hi, I will be using an Eheim 2028 for my 4 x2 x2 tank. The intake of the filter will be through a Atman skimmer. I will also be using pressurised CO2 with a 2-way manifold to inject the gas via a glass diffuser and an internal reactor. There will also be a small submersible internal filter to aid CO2 diffusion. I request advice on the placement of the aforementioned eqpt in relation to each other for maximum water movement, filtration and CO2 diffusion. Tks.

If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.

Tks. In a earlier thread which I subscribed, it was advised that for a 4-foot tank it would be better for 2 CO2 diffusion points. Should I place the rainbar on the opposite side of the filter intake?

I've read from your previous thread. What PeterGwee suggest is the misting method of introducing co2 into the tank. Before I start, what type of equipment do you have right now? We should work with what you have right now.

Perhaps PeterGwee could assist as I am not familiar with the 'misting' method. I've never tried it before and my suggestion might not result in the outcome that you desired.
PeterGwee, can you assist?

I think I explain quite clearly last time on how to go about it. If he reads it properly, he shouldn't have much problem. Its really no big deal..either use a diffuser or powerhead to get the CO2 mist and blow it around the tank such that all area is well covered. It easy since its visual.

Peter, tks for the clarification.
